Pizza may just be the most debatable food out there. There are so many incredible pizzas across America, but some stoke controversy just by existing. Yes, we're talking about deep-dish pizza. Even the best deep-dish in the country is subject to scrutiny: Is a pizza that has a deep, thick crust actually a pizza pie or is it more like a casserole than a flatbread? Former "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart went after deep-dish pizza in 2013, calling it "tomato soup in a bread bowl," causing many Chicagoans to staunchly defend their signature pie.

In your opinion, Is deep-dish a pizza or a casserole?

It's a pizza. You don't call chicken-pot-pie a casserole.

It's a pizza if a different style. It has its own unique taste to it, but it is a pizza. I used to be a detractor until I tried a few from places moving near me and quite liked it. It's like Detroit style or St. Louis style or Roman or Sicilian style. All different, all pizza
